Green Chemistry for Sustainable Water Purification is a comprehensive resource that delves into the latest advancements in clean water treatment technologies utilizing green materials and nanocomposites. Safe drinking water is a critical concern for scientists and industry professionals engaged in projects, particularly in addressing the contamination of groundwater by toxic organic and inorganic compounds released by various industries. The presence of contaminants and industrial effluents in drinking water systems has emerged as a significant environmental challenge. To address this issue, a range of methods, including ion exchange, membrane filtration, advanced oxidation, biological degradation, photocatalytic degradation, electro-coagulation, and adsorption, are employed to remove or minimize these waste products. However, conventional wastewater purification methods have proven ineffective, challenging, and costly.

In contrast, the concept of green chemistry, which harnesses the power of biological agents such as polymers, bacteria, and fungi, has gained significant scientific attention for its ability to mitigate the toxic by-products of conventional techniques and promote eco-friendly wastewater treatment approaches. This book explores various treatment technologies, with a particular emphasis on the green adsorption approach. It discusses the use of biological and hybrid biochemical treatment technologies to prevent water contamination and preserve ecosystems. The book also delves into the analysis of organic and inorganic pollutants from industrial wastewater, highlighting the removal and recovery of organic and inorganic compounds. By leveraging green chemistry principles, this book aims to provide a sustainable solution for water purification and resource management, contributing to a healthier and more sustainable future.
